CLASS PROPHECY OF
YANKTON HIGH SCHOOL
(Written aud delivered by Irone
Marshull, at the occuaion of tho 10th
Grade graduating exercises of the
Yankton High Rchonl, on Friday, M
29th, 1916.)
I am standing alone by tho flro,
Watching Its friendly glow,
Tho flumes lenp gladly upward
And tho past they seom to show.
I see tn I bono lenping flashes
The long tlmo that haa been,
The years aoem to roll away buck ward
And I'm living them over again.
Hack to my memory come rushing
The long past duys of youth
With the careless Joys and pleasures,
With Its-hope, Its love, and truth.
Hut ever, and always foremost,
In memories vision stuyed;
Are the Joys of our huppy school diiyc
Whon we worked, and thought, and
played.
Ah, that pleasant little shcool house
Kissed by tho sun's bright light
As It stood on tho verdure hillsldo
Was our pride, and our delight.
There In thut quiet school room
Aided by teachors kind,
Wo molded our coming future
And character of the mind.
T. remember, oh so plainly,
rhat last evening In bright May
When wo guthored all together
Kor a last farewell and piny.
Diciit our hearts were light and happy
nd our minds were free from care.
Wa looked forth, through mystic
glasses
)n the fulure long and fair.
Hit like leaves of an autumn for oat,
cuttered by winter's blast,
Wo have drifted fur from each other
Known only lu the past.
Yet now and again some tidings
Arn wnftod fromlunds afar;
fo toll of tholr present greatness,
ud how famous my classmates are
Mary Orlflls, you remember,
The prettiest girl in school
Who was always kind and helpful,
And whoso gentle word was rule; .
Jho Is now tho prlnctplo-lencher
In a college of tho west,
(lor pupils of mathematics
Rocolvo instructions of tho best.
nd there was Mario Anderson,
Lnnghing and always glad;
Whoso greatest care and worry
Wore tho freckles that she had.
Hut wo loved hor for those frockloH
And the stories that slio wroto,
Slio Is now a famous authoress
From tho commonplnco quite romoto.
Her books of truth and wisdom
Aro known throughout tho lund
And come have crossed the ocean
And are known on a foreign strand
And llttlo Marie Walker
Always so bright and gay,
Who always worked our problems
Whon behind wo happened to stay;
She lod our class In Algebra
And every problem could got,
Whllo to-day hor name Is famous,
Miss Walker, the euffraget.
She crossos the country from oast to
west
And talks at each great hall;
And tolls of great things women will
do
When thoy shall be voters all.
deo'rge Walker, the only boy In class,
I know he would be great
For being the only boy you know,
Much knowledge was his to rate.
I hear that now his nanio Is known
Throughout our Union wldo;
lie Is governor of Oregon
Ills works are the country's prldo.
And so you see my clasHmates all
Huve won a numo of fume;
While I. I am a poor old maid
Tho world knows not my mime.
I've wrinkles In my forehead
And in tlm atore a bill,
A cnt for a companion
A hut upon tho hill.
Sometimes, when I grow lonely,
I watch tho firelights glow;
And think of youth's companions
nd heavo a sigh or so.
Ah well, this groat old world of ours
Is filled with thorns, as well as with
flowers, v
Homo got the thorns and others the
flowers,
Wo cun't all llvo In rosy bowers.
Hut as the tldo of life goes on -We
must take what comes our way,
What we wlnli to do, or not to do
Is not for us to say.
Hut as with hopes hold high and
strong
Wo look toward tho rising Bun.
We can any, fulfilled was our motto
"Not finished, but just begun."
